We study the phenomenology of leptophilic $Z'$ gauge bosons at the future high-energy $e^+e^-$ and $\mu^+\mu^-$ colliders, as well as at the gravitational wave observatories. The leptophilic $Z'$ model, although well-motivated, remains…

We propose a scheme of searches for the Abelian $Z'$ gauge boson in the Drell-Yan process at $\sqrt{S}=1.96$ TeV. We base our considerations on renor\-ma\-li\-za\-tion-group relations between the $Z'$ couplings to standard-model fermions.…
